The ordinary life of humanity is a continuous effort to avoid oneself. Everybody is doing it, in different ways of course. Nobody can sit silently and be alone. Watch yourself, how fidgety you become if there is nothing to do. If the radio is not there and television is not there and the newspaper is not there and you don't have a book to read and nobody to talk to, just think how fidgety, restless you become. You are almost in a panic, as if you are dying. You need something to remain occupied with, you cannot be with yourself.

And whenever you are with yourself you start feeling bored. Now, this is strange. And if somebody else feels bored with you, you feel very hurt, but you yourself feel bored with yourself! And everybody is the same: nobody feels good being alone.

Man is constantly escaping from himself; that is his whole activity. In business, chasing money, or in politics, chasing power, a constant need to be amused is there, to be entertained is there. Go to the football match or go to the cricket match or go to the races - but go somewhere. Join some club, some crowd, go to the movie, be a spectator somewhere or other, but don't ever sit silently.

10 Ways To Embrace Change: Empower Yourself, Empower our World

By Mona Delfino | Prevent Disease | Sacred Connections

changethepast

Recently many people have been asking me about how changes can work when they feel lost, or stuck. I say that you really are not lost, or stuck, even though it feels like that! Truthfully, you are in transition and as with any shift, even with diets, we hit a plateau. In the world of internal change, although we can feel that we are without direction, recognizing anything is called an “A-HA” moment.

Research on the placebo effect is ramping up across the world because it proves the amazing power of the mind in health and healing. Peer-reviewed medical journals are reporting information about the placebo effect that was just a few years ago considered pseudoscience by science-based skeptics and academicians.

Researchers who study the placebo effect know that clinical studies must be designed that carefully control for variables, such as spontaneous remission and bias, to accurately determine the real placebo effect. They also know these studies must include a no treatment group. These more carefully designed studies reveal that a large part of the real placebo effect lies in psychological factors, such as expectation, learning, and conditioning.

Top 40 Dream Symbols And Their Meanings

by Gregg Prescott, M.S.
Editor, BodyMindSoulSpirit.com

Dreams are how we process whatever is going on in the subconscious mind. Everybody dreams but unfortunately, we forget 90% of our dreams. You may want to consider keeping a dream journal and a pen next to your bed to record your dreams when you awaken.

If your dreams are overall very positive or even futuristic, then this generally tells you that you’ve done your “inner work” to resolve any current issues.

If your dreams are overall very negative, then this is a sign that there are issues that need to be addressed in your life. Consider this a blessing because these dreams are giving you the opportunity to resolve these issues.

If you’re having nightmares on a regular basis, check to see how much television you’re watching on any given day. Never fall asleep watching TV!

For those who love horror flicks, these will often be stored in your subconscious mind and will be replayed in some bizarre fashion within your dreams.

We often have repetitive themes within our dreams, such as having the ability to fly or being chased by someone or something. There’s a reason why these dreams keep occurring and it’s up to you to find out why.

The following are the Top 40 dream symbols and their meanings in alphabetical order. Please keep in mind that each dream symbol could have dozens of variants and alternative meanings. In this article, we’ll cover the most common dream symbols and the most common meanings.

4 Skills To Cultivate Your Potential

It’s often said that a great deal of growth occurs after trauma:

  • The woman who is diagnosed with an illness and decides to create a life she loves
  • The man who survives an accident and develops a sense of his priorities
  • The brother who loses his sibling and cultivates stronger bonds with friends & family

Whatever it might be, trauma can often be a springboard to realize our purpose, fertilize our growth, and actualize our potential. This phenomenon is known as post-traumatic growth and commonly includes:

  • More focus on one’s goals & dreams
  • A renewed sense of meaning & purpose
  • A better understanding of oneself
  • A change in priorities and the ability to choose actions that align with them
  • Deeper connections & relationships

The Inner Critic: Making Friends with that Little Voice in your Head

criticismimage1

“What if your inner critic turned out not to be an evil bully needing to be conquered, but a frightened child needing your reassurance.” ~ Jo Hilder

We all know by now that the ego thrives in comparisons and judgment. It needs something to compare or contrast itself to, in order to be “something.” So there are two types of egos. The first one operates off the belief that it is better than other people.

It does this by projecting it’s own perceived “less than” qualities on to other people, in order to reinforce that it is above them. In this example, we have the judgments being placed on to other people and things outside of itself. so that it never has to look at itself as the “problem”.

Is Communication From the Future Already Here?

time travel

Robert Torres, Contributor
Waking Times

Did you know that there was a study conducted to see if someone from the future was here present in our time? Yes, it’s true! Astrophysicists – Robert Nemiroff and Teresa Wilson at Michigan Tech University did just that as reported in 2014. They figured that if someone from the future traveled back to our time, there may be trace evidence. Someone may have done internet searches of future events. The search dates would have been prior to the events and would stand out that way. Enough of them traced to one user would reveal a pattern of advanced knowledge.

After exhausting their funds, the results of that study remained inconclusive. However, in response to a question posted on one website asking: “Do you believe communication through time would be possible?” I replied that “I believe it has already happened.” Only because I believe that our near future thinkers will be quantum computers with artificial intelligence. I believe that not only would they be able to figure it out, but man has figured it out already.

BIG WIN! El Salvador Farmers Kick Monsanto Out, Refuse GMO Seeds

Source: www.naturalsociety.com | Original Post Date: April 14, 2015 –

Farmers from El Salvador make many US biotech farming practices look like the work of a bunch of crazed lunatics. At least in El Salvador they realize the importance of non-GM food and heritage seed saving. After outperforming Monsanto’s biotech seed with record crop yields, they have also now managed a giant defeat of Monsanto by preventing the company from supplying El Salvador with its poison seeds.

Monsanto’s biotech crops have been linked with kidney disease, liver failure, reproductive problems, and more. Most recently, the WHO called glyphosate, the main chemical ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Round Up, ‘probably carcinogenic.’

Chemists with the University of Texas and the University of Marburg have devised a method of using a small electrical field that will remove the salt from seawater.

Incredibly this technique requires little more than a store-bought battery.

Called electrochemically mediated seawater desalination (EMSD) this technique has improved upon the current water desalination method.

Richard Cooks, chemistry professor at the University of Austin said : “The availability of water for drinking and crop irrigation is one of the most basic requirements for maintaining and improving human health.”

Lyrid meteor shower peaks on April 23, 2015

Lyrid meteor shower will reach its maximum activity this year on the morning of April 23, 2015. The Moon will be 5 days old at the time, and so will present minimal interference. Lyrid meteors are known for their luminous dust trains observable for several seconds.

The pieces of space debris that interact with our atmosphere to create the Lyrids originate from comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher discovered on April 5, 1861, but the first recorded sighting of a Lyrid meteor shower goes back to 687 BC which makes them one of the oldest known meteor showers.

Lyrids are known for their fast and bright meteors and though they are not as fast or as plentiful as the famous Perseids in August they can surprise watchers with as many as 100 meteors seen per hour. Sightings of these heavier showers occurred in 1803 (Virginia), 1922 (Greece), 1945 (Japan), and 1982 (U.S.). In general, 10 - 20 Lyrid meteors can be seen per hour during their peak.

What Your Favorite Color Says About You

Color psychology is the fascinating science of human the colors of the light spectrum influence our mood and behaviour.  For example, placebo pills that are hot-colored tend to produce a stronger effect when patients believe they are taking stimulants, and light blue pills produce a stronger effect when they believe they are taking medication for depression.

According to a 1997 survey by Cooper Marketing Group, 35% of Americans say that their favorite color is blue, followed by followed by green (16%), purple (10%) and red (9%).  It is believed that blue and green have such a calming and positive effect on people because of what we would have associated these colors with in our ancient history.  50,000 years ago, blue and green would mean water, food sources and shelter.

26 Life Changing Lessons From Eckart Tolle That Will Change Your Perspective

1. This moment right now is precious. Live fully in it.

“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”

“As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love – even the most simple action.”

“Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.”

“Don’t let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment.”

“People don’t realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.”
